Poll question: Was the 2000 Presidential election rigged?
Edited on Tue Apr-19-11 11:37 PM by Paradoxical
By rigged I mean that the results of the election differed from the actual votes cast by individual citizens and that the difference was intentional in order to promote one candidate over the other.
Poll result (191 votes)
Yes (161 votes, 84%) Vote
Most likely (7 votes, 4%) Vote
Not likely (2 votes, 1%) Vote
No (21 votes, 11%)

4. Of course. Any election where a Democrat loses a close race is stolen and rigged. n/t
I'm assuming this was sarcasm, despite the fact 99% of them believe that.

12. Just because it happened to Gore and Kerry doesn't mean they are all rigged.
It is just easier to explain the closer votes away.
Although there were very convoluted discussions in 2004 about why exit polls which we had relied upon for decades to monitor the accuracy of elections here and in other countries were suddenly so wrong.

33. That is my point.
Maybe the powers that run things decided that they wanted Obama. He wouldn't upset what they had under bush and the Democrats would take the blame for the shitty economy that bush brought us. So they got Obama nominated and then ran the worst possible two candidates against him. I mean, can you think of anyone that wouldn't have beat the geezer and the hill billy?

Yep Rove set it up for Barry to get the gig.

14. "Rigging" isn't the issue; it is the ILLEGAL SUPREME COURT DECISION.
Every thing they disagree with, is illegal. Illegal war, illegal SC decision, and so forth.
I started to wonder why they brought up the 2000 stolen election meme, then it occurred to me, they are simply reminding the loons so they can prepare to use the same stolen election meme, when Barry finds himself helping to stimulate the economy by collecting unemployment in 2013. In other words lurking DUmmies when Obama loses in the 2012 election.
